You kneel over the Baron's corpse and whisper a prayer. A soft light washes over his corpse. You can hear multiple sets of footsteps running up the stairs now; there is no more time, you must move immediately.
"What did you do?" the prisoner asks.
What you did was cast Gentle Repose, a blessing to preserve his corpse - with luck, a powerful cleric or wizard in the town will have enough time to revive him before the blessing wears off. But you don't tell him that; you simply grab the prisoner's hand and run, cutting through the main room as fast as you can, making sure to hug the walls and keep your steps swift but quiet.
All you need to do is make it around the corner before the guards reach the top of the stairs... Kossuth got you this far, so he'd better have your back now!
